Psalms 131

1 [A Song of Ascents. By David.] Jehovah, my heart isn't haughty, nor my eyes lofty; nor do I concern myself with great matters, or things too wonderful for me.

Yahweh, I am not proud and I have not thought highly about (myself/the things that I have done). And I do not concern myself about things [that you have done] that are very big or very wonderful.

2 Surely I have stilled and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with his mother, like a weaned child is my soul within me.

Instead, I am calm and peaceful, like a [small] child who lies quietly in its mother’s arms [SIM]. In the same way, I am peaceful.

3 Israel, hope in Jehovah, from this time forth and forevermore.

You [my fellow] Israelis, confidently expect that Yahweh [will do good things for you], now and forever!
